It is stated to contain 58 percent caramelized sugar (saccharose), 23 percent fructose and 19 percent water. The brix of the product is 80 degrees. For purposes of this ruling, it is understood that the product contains 58 percent sucrose derived from sugar cane or sugar beets. The subject merchandise will be imported in 1 kilogram bottles and will be used by restaurants, hotels and pastry chefs for desserts, ice cream, milk shakes, etc.
